PraiseTheSun123 said: Let's not try to fool ourselves into thinking that ufotable is not the cause of the KnY phenomenon, because that would be a clear delusion. Surely KnY had to do something right (that's why I said most, not all), but most of the work goes to ufotable. And I'm not really sure about the last part. Sure, KnY is huge, but the Fate series (adapted by ufotable too) literally makes as much money as some countries in the world. Fate isn't, nor has ever been, anywhere near as popular as Kimetsu is right now in Japan. |

Kimetsu and Kingdom make me happy. Bless Ufotable as they have Fate and KNY to adapt. |

Kimetsu being so high is proof that people really felt for the massive bait Ufotable pulled. That series doesn't deserve to be anywhere near as high as it is. |

Secondly, what I tried to say, is that simply was the anime adaptation made by ufotable what made the manga this popular in the first. So in the other words, I've never said anything remotely similar to "manga has ufotable quality of animation. that's why people buy it.", but just that the anime did wonderful its job to bring a lot of new people to buy the manga. That's all. And that's not even an opinion, it's a fact. I mean, you just can check the graphic, which clearly shows that, by a huge margin, most of the sales comes after the anime adaption, not before. And it's not even just that as even the WSJ editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano said that Demon Slayer's success hinged on word of mouth generated after the anime's run. So tell me then, what's that flaw in my logic? because honestly, I can't see it. |

"The way people interact with anime has changed, and I feel like we've entered a new phase." Nakano also mentioned that these days, it takes more time for a manga series running in Weekly Shonen Jump to become a hit. Demon Slayer began serialization in 2016, but it was not until 2019 that it became a hit. "There are more manga publications and digital outlets these days, so there are more channels to find manga to your taste," he explained. "No matter how great a manga it is, it won't become a hit just because it ran in Jump." Even Demon Slayer's success hinged on word of mouth generated after the anime's run, he argued. it's already great before anime, anime did give a good marketing job. |

Compared to KnY maybe, not in general... my bad KnY was sold 150K per volume before anime. that's amazing for non adapted manga. while not big hit before anime like JJK (240K), or MHA (350K), or TPN (370K). it still above black clover (110K) or Stone (90k). and that's for jump only. fire force only doing 75 K before anime, edens zero 60K, Tokyo revenger 80K, etc. while nothing become as explosive as KNY. there are some series that generated big boost from adaptation too, like Tokyo ghoul (140K>1100K) Terra formars (80k>850K) Attack on titan (180K>1750K) kingdom (120K>500K>800k "Live Action"). what made KnY historical are not the explosion it self, lot of series do so. but the scale. |

"This" clearly implies that I am saying all these things comparatively. You would have to be very delusional to think that KnY could have become the same phenomenon that it is today without anime. You just have to check the statistics: 1,193,204 in 2017 (without anime), 1,345,053 copies in 2018 (without anime and there is hardly any difference from last year), 12,057,628 in 2019 (anime, sales increase is obvious) and then 82,345,447 in now 2020. I don't know about you, but I think it's crystal clear it was the anime what originated all of this at this extent in the first place. anime did give a good marketing job.

YES. but does it solely reason? no way. |

Saying Kimetsu no Yaiba is successful because of ufotable is the same as saying Hunter X Hunter is successful because of Madhouse. Kimetsu no Yaiba is not even ufotable's best selling anime. ufotable only make Kimetsu no Yaiba existence known more to the rest of the mainstream audience but the ability to make fans love and spend much money on it goes down to come from the potential of the manga. We could put other decent studios to animate Kimetsu no Yaiba but it will still receive the same success as it is. |

As expected, Kimetsu no Yaiba completely decimated every one of its contenders. Most likely, the same thing will happen in the next year as well. I believe Jujutsu Kaisen will be able to near its sales, though. |

Which in my opinion it was earned through hardwork and passion coming from both the staff behind Ufotable and KnY’s mangaka We might have different point of views on the matter, and that’s fine. So it’s kinda pointless to argue imo. We won’t change each other’s minds. Have a good day☺️ |

An anime job is to advertise a product, in this case the manga. However advertisement can only help you get so far, if the product isn't good then no amount of advertising gonna make it explode like that, If advertising really the only reason KnY than Samurai 8 would have been a smash hit. And saying KnY wasn't a hit before the anime is false. Just because something not well know in the West doesn't mean it not a hit in it own country. By that logic stuffs like Doraemon and Dr.Slump weren't a hit too because they aren't well-know in the West. KnY already a respectable hit on Jump before the anime even been announced, not gang buster like right now but on pair with something like BC. |

Hamazura said: why don't you people keep making monthly manga and BD DVD sales anymore? don't tell me this is just because shitmetsu no trashba is selling like hell. nah, those information actually simply paywalled. so reporting them without license them was actually act of piracy. which is not on good term with MAL try being "legal". no surprise it started when they starting to promote legal service in 2015. understandable, but still kinda sad. they still reporting things that available for free to public tho, like this one. however, there are actually top 100 if you purchase them. |

Strange word choice. Success is something you earn, not something you deserve And so what? It literally did what it was supposed to do— to advertise the manga. What’s your point here? I don’t get what you’re trying to say This so much. It's crazy how many people forget that the point of adaptations is to advertise the sorce material, and treat the anime doing it's job like it's a bad thing. |

Gorochu said: Saying Kimetsu no Yaiba is successful because of ufotable is the same as saying Hunter X Hunter is successful because of Madhouse. Kimetsu no Yaiba is not even ufotable's best selling anime. ufotable only make Kimetsu no Yaiba existence known more to the rest of the mainstream audience but the ability to make fans love and spend much money on it goes down to come from the potential of the manga. We could put other decent studios to animate Kimetsu no Yaiba but it will still receive the same success as it is. Lmao you're saying Kimetsu no yaiba is not Ufotable's best selling anime?The movie is the 3rd most selling in Japan.Look it up again. Hunter x Hunter's manga was already successful before it even got an anime while it is not the case with Demon slayer.Demon slayer's manga was unknown but when it's anime was airing the manga blew up. |

Kimetsu no Yaiba anime sold at 20278 per volume. Fate/Zero anime sold at 52285 per volume. http://www.someanithing.com/series-data-quick-view Fate Zero outsell Kimetsu no Yaiba. So yeah, Kimetsu no Yaiba is not ufotable biggest sales. Kimetsu no Yaiba already has more than 1 million sales before the anime came out. Just because Kimetsu no Yaiba is not well known in the west that does not mean it's not well known in Japan before the anime came out. Do you have Hunter X Hunter sales statistics prior the 1999 anime to prove your point that Hunter x Hunter manga was already successful before it even got an anime? Hunter x Hunter manga was almost unknown prior to the 2011 anime. -EDIT- 1998 Japan's Manga Sales Series Sales Sales spectrum: 1 December 1997 - 30 November 1998 *1. 719,850 Meitantei Conan *2. 647,789 Rurouni Kenshin *3. 625,322 GTO *4. 475,542 Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo *5. 366,417 H2 *6. 350,338 Hoshin Engi *7. 311,345 Initial D *8. 305,681 Hana yori Dango *9. 268,484 One Piece 10. 246,258 Rekka no Honoo 11. 204,120 Kochira Katsushikaku Kameari Kouenmae Hashutsujo 12. 203,187 I's 13. 198,314 Oishinbo 14. 198,357 Hajime no Ippo 15. 191,843 Monster 16. 190,354 GS Mikami Gokuraku Daisakusen!! 17. 186,047 Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori 18. 184,047 3x3 Eyes 19. 154,016 Jaja Uma Grooming Up! 20. 149,615 Basara Source: Oricon back issues via Justnet Modified by Ana, Apr 30, 2015 8:42 AM https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1373782#msg39315196 1999 Japan's Manga Sales Series Sales Sales spectrum: 7 December 1998 - 29 November 1999 *1. 564,058 Meitantei Conan *2. 416,663 Rurouni Kenshin *3. 371,950 One Piece *4. 332,929 H2 *5. 325,627 GTO *6. 301,027 Hana yori Dango *7. 287,615 Hoshin Engi *8. 284,099 Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo (inclusive of the short stories volume) *9. 204,641 Oishinbo 10. 204,581 Hajime no Ippo Source: Oricon back issues https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1378429#msg39560431 No Hunter X Hunter manga.

But I may as well join in now, if the anime didn't have the Ufotable-level animation that made both the anime and manga explode in popularity, those manga sales wouldn't be as high as they are. The anime blowing up is what made a shit ton of people pay attention to the manga, thus the massive boost in sales. |

Kimetsu no Yaiba anime sales doesn't reach Attack on Titan,Haikyuu anime sales but Kimetsu no Yaiba manga still outperforming Attack on Titan,Haikyuu manga during the first two years of their post anime. Surely it because of the manga and not anime. I feel that too many people has over exaggerated impact of ufotable without checking the statistics to back their claim. http://www.someanithing.com/series-data-quick-view Kimetsu no Yaiba anime sales = 20,278 Shingeki no Kyojin anime sales = 52,078 Haikyuu anime sales = 25,470 How is KnY anime blowing up when it sales is lower than AoT and Haikyuu? Do you guys even check fact and statistics before making unproven claim or you just use your anecdotal evidence which is not reliable. |

KnY is not even my personal most liked series of that year (that title goes to kaguya-sama), but seeing this level of denial just amuse me. |

Amazingly, KNY beats everything in manga and light novels (except in anime, because they're many anime who can beat KNY, such as FMAB, gintama, HXH 2011, steins gate, etc and also in top anime who have many fans, such as naruto, FMAB, SAO, NGNL, etc) |

grats on the kametsu no Yaiba mangaka.... 83m copy sale is not a big joke... I dont know about the anime since I didnt see so of course I'd not know how good the manga is..... It's just that... I feel like I'll never like the story of series that's I feel like not for me anymore. ohhh well. I guess I should try and preserve it when I'm about to die? |

Everyone talking about Demon Slayer's sales figures which are well deserved but so little talk about how Kingdom, which has been sitting under One Piece for years, finally surpassing OP. As a long time Kingdom fan, I'm excited for the next years! |
